Avison Young’s New York office arranged a long-term ground lease for Hellenic Classical Charter School (HCCS) at 1641 Richmond Avenue in Staten Island, a property owned by the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community.

HCCS plans to build a new 36,000 s/f school on the site that will house grades 3-8. As well as classrooms, specialty rooms and an auditorium it will have a gym and high-tech library.
Avison Young also renewed the existing 23,000 s/f leased space for grades Pre-K-2nd to coincide with the term of the new building ground lease. The original 23,000 s/f lease was signed in 2019.
